Im only speculating, I dont know for sure what Lee has planned.

Hard to comment when I dont have the full picture.

[ronnie paton]

you dont even know what it is.

window washes does just the same has say yell. you advertise and pay for it, if he his going to quote and provide the ustomer i feel it is very muh different.

[gewindows]

you dont even know what it is.

lee is this something to do with your idea to bring in new customers that you was talking about??

I see that ronnie is paying attention 

[gewindows]

I dunno but that bleedin advert at the bottom is annoying 

[mikecam]

the one thing i have never understood on this forum is why people are so rude to each other, i just dont think there is any need for it at all.

Thats the downside to forums, they're there for general participation. And if someone thinks what you are doing is stupid then its open for them to say so. You don't like it, like you say you're not in business to like or be liked, but somehow it bothers you . Maybe if you'd of posted this in the business leads section it wouldn't be open for ridicule. You didn't do that, you posted it in the general section, and to be honest its not even a job you're selling. Its no more than a lead and you've dropped it two quid into the bargain.
 To be honest my initial thought was that you where mad, but seeing some of the repiles here i think you may have found a niche clientele to sell your 'leads' to, a few of the guys here seem to think what you are doing is a good idea? Anyone savvy and local enough will be out canvassing the BN7 3/ area.
 God bless ya, you seem a trier to me !!! Good luck 

[Lee Pryor]

rise and shine, you do not have all the facts about my little project, in fact it is something different that at this time i do not wish to share all the details of. and im sure that when i do you and many other people on here will have something rude or negative to say. on the other hand there will be people that will see the potential and decide to act on it.

at least im trying to think of something to improve our industry for both customers and window cleaners, im putting in a lot of time on this on top of running my existing business and I dont mind telling you its costing me in the region of 10k

bottom line is mate wether or not people agree with me or not I did sell that customer for £18 today and there will be pleanty more coming up along the same lines next year, and I have no doubt in my mind that there will be cleaners willing to buy them. I believe that customer is getting cleaned tomorrow, it will be interesting to get some feed back about it.

In the mean time, I try to have an open mind when it comes to business and other peoples idears and i find that serves me well, maybe you should to.

[Gav Camm lammy 283]

gud on you m8 id a sold it too

[gewindows]

Save your money pal, its all been done before.

Theres investing in your business and theres stupidity.

Heres a good suggestion, I'll admit its been thought of before ~ Give your coppers to a charity instead, thats a good suggestion isnt it.

[clarkson]

  Hi Lee
  is this customer the trial run of the new marketing strategy.

  People on here are so small minded it is cos they are one man bands and dont see investment as a way forward.

 i would gladly buy it if it was anywhere near me. I would just talk him up on the initial clean to cover your fee then if he bumps just lost my time. thats time i havnt wasted on canvassing.

 of course the potential is if he approached you is he will stick. so makes it a good buy.

cheers

  john

[Lee Pryor]

well John has his head in the right direction.

not really a trial run, as that customer came to me with no marketing as it was a referal from one of mine, but the way it was priced and sold is what will be happening, what part of the country are you in john?

[Ian101]

gud on you m8 id a sold it too

  what even to me ??  you prob charge me £40 not £20 though .... 

[Steve CM]

small minded? investing in our business?

lmfao

come on get real ITS ONE CUSTOMER AT 18 QUID A CLEAN!!

if it was a commercial of a few hundred i would snap his hand off.

if it was 15 customers in one area i would consider paying it.

if i had a canvasser come to me with one sign up i would probably laugh and tell them that they need to give up the game.

its not small minded its just laughable that someone would sell a 18 pound house for 18 quid when they have been asked if they could clean there house.

I think 'the one man bands' that someone just referred to need to reconsider what their saying. lol

i don't or won't get caught in mud slinging but come on get real here

I'll repeat in simple terms

Its an 18 pound house.

christ get your head out your arses!!

 

Now lee if this was a tester for your next master plan then fair play but its not its a referrel so all the bull crap and bravado is nonsense.

I'll repeat in case anyone missed it

ITS ONE CUSTOMER AT 18 QUID

[gewindows]

Exactly. Well said.

Theres a number of things in all this apparent development that doesnt add up.

Firstly, the potential customers are meant to be approaching Pryors off their own back

I will be selling customers that have.

come to us of their own accord

but Lee claims he's spent up to 10K of his own money on this scheme, well on what if the customers are the ones making the contact?

[Perfect Windows]

I do know what Lee is planning and, frankly, I can't wait.  If it works, it'll be beautiful.

Additionally, I know that a call to Lee isn't a "prospect" or a "potential custy".  It's a customer.  Yes, it might be a one-off, but I suspect not, given the way leads come to him.  Same misconception from Rise 'n Shine when he suggested I hadn't gained 30 customers from my leaflet drop, just prospects.  You're commenting on stuff with no knowledge of our businesses.

As for paying £18 for an £18 a month custy, I'll do that with joy in my heart.  Cheapest prospecting ever, including canvassing (add up your time and see how cheap it really is).

Anyway, van full again, so off now.

i pay for it

A mis-read, thats all.

If I told you all right now it would be silly as its not ready yet and we would all be having less fun with each other along the way. rise and shine why are you so negative and closed minded?

Because its ALL been touted on here before, Ronnie Paton used to come on blabbing off on a Saturday night after he'd had one too many sherberts, couldnt remember what he used to say and go round the following day deleting his posts, then wasshisface Terry Turbo did EXACTLY the same, never heard any more of his miracle marketing scheme.

Look whos popped up now, another old face from the past on here with another get rich quick scheme, albeit not window cleaning  as such, just your general run of the mill internet marketing 'stuff'. Which was also 'unique, cant fail, free, wonderful returns, retire after 3 days investment, live the life of reilly', all too good to be true.

It goes on and on.

J. DeMarco was another.



Of course you cant tell us what is 'yet' because there is no such thing as a unique selling/marketing opportunity anymore, THEYVE ALL BEEN DONE.

[kate1]

Rise, that was a funny post albeit whats going on.

i'll let you into a secret. if you knock enough doors you will gain enough work.

until people want to get onto the next level (commercial) thats pretty much how you conquere the domestic market.
